1
This disease develops upon infiltration of HTLV-1-infected lymphocytes into the central nervous system, mostly the thoracic spinal cord.
2
Background: Ventral lesions of upper thoracic spinal cord due to degenerative diseases are rare and often have poor operative outcomes.
3
Conclusion: In a rat thoracic spinal cord contusion model, we observed that sacral neuromodulation did not prevent SCI-induced myelin loss and apoptosis.
4
This disease is the consequence of the infiltration of HTLV-1-infected lymphocytes into the central nervous system (CNS), mostly the thoracic spinal cord.
5
Thoracic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed diffused thoracic spinal cord thickening and extensively intramedullary T2 hyper intensity areas.
1
Both the legs and wings of the insect are attached to the thoracic segment of its body.
2
The thoracic segments are provided with wider plates, but unarmed.
3
The Two-banded Scolia stings a little lower down, on the line of demarcation between the first two thoracic segments.
1
Intervention: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed impingement on the thoracic cord by a mass.
2
Neurological examination revealed paraplegia, total sensory loss down from the level of the sixth thoracic cord and sphincteric disturbances.
3
A 77-year-old woman developed recurrent transverse myelopathy of the thoracic cord about a year after acute retrobulbar optic neuropathy on the left.
4
Three years later, MRI demonstrated a severe longitudinal and segmental atrophy of the mid to low thoracic cord which resulted in transverse spinal signs.
5
The corresponding relationships in the thoracic cord are unknown owing to technical difficulties in assessing GM and WM compartments by conventional magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
6
Tumors extended into the cervical cord in 13 patients, the thoracic cord in 7 patients, and the conus medullaris in 6 patients.
7
Thoracic cord GM areas were correlated with lower limb function.
8
Conclusions and relevance: Thoracic cord GM atrophy can be detected in vivo in the absence of WM atrophy in RMS.
